First, if you are collaborating with the first person you come across, it is not going to be the best match. If you two have talked about making movies he was probably talking about you both giving input, and may not have the same creative goals. I'm sure if you were better connected you could...

I've found lately that writing out the ending and beginning first helps me with the middle - knowing what has to happen to lead to the end can help advance your plot as you write it. Not only that, but if anything in the draft feels rushed, it tends not to be the ending if you write that way...

I write in a lot of mediums and find that it's easier to write prose versions of stories than to make them into movies - I mean, obviously the results aren't as impressive, but anyway. If I have an idea, it's likely going into outline form at least (not a premise, a plot idea etc.), then I can...

You are exactly correct, and I guess I overreacted. My bad. Ethnocentrism, xenophobia and racism hit my buttons, but it seems like this is a case of my being on a hair trigger. I'm sorry I misread your post and am convinced that you are none of those things, so I am sorry. But yeah, that was...

I don't think the 'formula' was that rigid, and there is grey area in between the two, so I didn't mean to throw this person under the bus for a single comment. And I agree with what you said.

I really didn't mean to get into an argument in the first thread I posted in, but I am kind of offended. I guess I wasn't exactly clear either. It's not about how similar different strains of Western music are, it's about how different music is in every ethnic backwater worldwide compared to...

Cracker - first off, I don't disagree with your point, what you're trying to say. But I do find it funny that you're trying to say music in the bigger sense is all the same, then you link to a video with music that you say is nothing like 'our western' standards! That's music, dude, Western or...

As a musician I disagree. I'm not writing to any formula when I arrange; sometimes even the idea of 4/4 or any time signature goes out of the window. And certainly there's no reliance on verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus, chorus or your basic rock progression. And I think that the...

It was explained to me, by someone I respect with a lot of experience in the industry, that most movies follow a very specific formula, and she knew what she was talking about. Now when I watch a movie I look for things like the all-is-lost moment and it's always there. Of course there are...

My name is Rylan Freshour and I'm a writer of all mediums, but film is an artform I've always been hoping to tell stories in. As I'm starting to hustle more I'd like to meet and work with creative people that want to make movies - probably not in Hollywood though, as my limited interaction with...
